NPC's physicality

[Trenkie]

Hi there

 

Here are some ideas about details in differencies among all the npc figures. They look all the same. I remember from fallout 1,2, that thanks to different physicality I could recognize the certain npc was going to be either junkie or a homeless, because they were skinny, slouching moving slowly and wearing just some rags.

It's like in reality we can recognize a certain person on a sight thanks to a body language.

 

I also don't see any fat people with a huge belly because of what they can barely move themselves. Most of all npc's don't have noticeable differencies on their figures.

 

Mainly I mean passive NPC's (no dialogue ones)

 

I know killing kids and using drugs are not in the game for some reason and I accept it. In reality, we also don't see junkies shooting in their veins (sorry for the "lucky ones") and we don't need it for recognizing them.

 

But other body language expressions tell us enough > taller slouching skinny guy wandering around with hands in empty pockets, fat bald stinko with his huge belly can't get off the bar chair, Spitting while walking, pissing on the wall behind a house, holding his stomach in ache or just laying on the ground in the middle of the street and you think if he is dead, stoned or drunk.

 

Sometimes a little surprise like this would be very immersible and refreshing to meet in F4.

 

What do you think?

 

Thank you
